Genuine natural stone including marble, travertine, granite slabs, is the “natural choice” for countertop surfaces. They are quarried from the ground in their natural state and cut into slabs for your home. Unlike quartz / reconstituted Natural Stone Slabs, granite slabs are processed with minimal use of resin and chemicals.

How Many Variations of Granite Slabs Are Available?

Granite Slab is available in a broad range of hues and patterns. Granite is a hard igneous rock made up of a variety of minerals such as quartz, mica, feldspar, and others. Produced by the crystallization of magma beneath the top surface of the Earth, the beautiful black visible streaks in granite’s primarily white, pink, or grey hue are made by this technique.

The minerals and rocks that make up a particular piece of granite influence the color of the granite. Granite’s distinctive patterns and color variations are due to quartz, amphiboles, feldspar, potassium, mica, and other minerals. The concentration of these minerals in the authentic stone determines the color of granite.

For example, quartz gives granite its milky white color, feldspar gives it an off-white hue, biotite gives it a dark brown or black tinge, amphibole a dark green or black touch, muscovite a yellow or metallic gold hue, and the abundant potassium feldspar mineral gives it its characteristic salmon-pink hue.

We, as Granite Slabs Suppliers, provide Granite Slabs in various colors, including white granite, black granite, black and white granite, grey granite, red granite, brown granite, and gold granite in Sydney.

This natural stone is adorned with veins, grains, and flakes of stone, making it visually attractive and a popular option for both homeowners and designers. It provides a particular character to every room, ranging from a range of neutrals to jewel tones.

Why Are Granite Slabs So Popular?

Granite Slabs are a popular option for those who wish to rebuild or build their homes because of their versatility and durability. The minerals in the stone give it its particular beauty, giving your home an allure that no other stone can match. It can be utilized as a wall covering, flooring, or countertop surface, used in the construction sector to make Granite Countertops, Granite Flooring, Granite Feature Walls, Granite Tile Staircases, Granite fireplaces and more.

Granite is carved into huge slabs or blocks when mined from the Earth.  The dimensions of these Granite Slabs must be precise in terms of width, thickness, and length. Based on these qualities, Granite Suppliers dispatch these slabs in the granite industry for a variety of reasons. Because granite is hefty and robust, weather-resistant, wear and tear-resistant, and durable, it is ideal for everyday usage. Granite Countertops, floors, and walls of various sorts can also be beautiful due to the stone’s ability to shine when polished.

These features distinguish granite from other natural stones, allowing it to be utilized for a variety of functions in both home and commercial settings, as well as interior and outdoor applications.

Sealing of Granite Slabs

Granite slabs have lower porosity than most natural materials. Most granite slabs will have a sealer applied to them before installation to prevent liquid absorption. Unlike years gone by, sealers available on the Market only require sealing every 15-25 years.

In general, darker granite slabs are very dense and generally only require one coat of sealer. Lighter granites are more porous and may require multiple coats of sealer to be considered stain-resistant. Either way, if adequately treated, granite is a stain-resistant countertop surface.

Maintenance of Granite Slabs

Granite slabs are a low-maintenance countertop surface. We, as Granite Suppliers in Sydney, guarantee the likelihood of your Granite Slab needing to be repaired or resurfaced is low. Even if Granite slabs are not appropriately sealed due to unforeseen circumstances, poultices can be used to remove oil-based stains. In contrast, water-based stains will fade with exposure to sunlight or another heat source. Using a soft, cotton cloth and mild-temperature water to clean your Granite Countertop every day, along with a drop of ph neutral cleanser or any ph neutral liquid soap, is more than enough. Make sure not to use any powerful cleaners or scrubbers. Light cleaning is all that is required to keep your granite looking and operating at its best if it has been sealed properly. Putting hot pots and pans on your Granite Countertop is not an issue because it can withstand high heat. Extreme temperatures, on the other hand, might cause harm, so be cautious.

Heat Resistance

Granite Benchtops is one of the most heat-resistant benchtops on the Market, which, unlike reconstituted stone, will not melt or blister when exposed to heat. If you happen to take a hot pan out of the oven and place it on a granite slab surface, the surface will be unchanged.

Scratch Resistance

Granite slabs score a six on the Mohs hardness scale, meaning very few minerals can scratch it. In comparison, Diamonds are 12 on the Mohs scale of hardness, making Granite Slabs one of the most durable and versatile materials available.

Resistance to Chemicals

Another excellent quality of Granite Slabs is that they are resistant to chemicals. Acids and bases that contact the stone will not harm the material. However, repeated use of these chemicals can wash away the sealer over time, which may see the need for re-sealing earlier than the recommended time.
